Question

The function () = 150(1.3)

represents the number of bikes sold at Peer’s Bike store in months. The graph
represents the amount of bikes sold at Cycles R Us bike store in the same time period

Answer 1

Cycles R Us sold 100 bikes more than Peer's Bike store in week zero.

Answer 2

   Peer's Bike store sold 50 bikes more than Cycles R Us bikes store.

Exponential function:

• An exponential function is defined by the expression,

        $y(t)=y_0(1+r)^t$

        Where, $y(t)=$ Final value

        $y_0=$ Initial value

        $r=$ rate of increase

        $t=$ Time or duration

Given in the question,

• Exponential function representing the bikes sold at Peer's Bike store,

        $y(t)=150(1.3)^t$

        At t = 0,

        $y(0)=150(1.3)^0$

        $y(0)=150$

• Graph representing the function for the bikes sold at Cycles R Us bikes store,

        $y(t)=y_0(1+r)^t$

        From the graph attached,

        At t = 0 , $y_0=100$

Difference in the bikes sold at Peer's Bike store and Cycles R Us bikes store = $150-100$

         = $50$

      Therefore, 50 more bikes were sold at Peer's Bike shop than at Cycles R Us store.
